You can never have enough quality mids around the place.
Maybe the new game plan is to simply bypass the middle of the ground.

Is Cornes really that tall? He doesn't look it on the TV

23. Tayte Pears, WA, 24 March 1990, Tall Defender, 190.1cm, 91.8kg.
Composed and disciplined tall defender who is renowned for his good decision making and excellent use of the ball. Recorded an outstanding 2.92 seconds for the 20m sprint – placing him in the top 10% of players at the 2007 NAB AFL Draft Camp.
Is it just me or does this guy sound like an absolute gun? They guy is a mountain that closes faster than 90% of players! Good luck beating him on a lead. Sounds like an ideal CHB.

2.92 is impressive in anyones language. From a 190, 91.8kg man, it's astounding.

The other recruiters seem to think we did well. Time will tell but I would have preferred Rioli over Myers but Pears seems like a ripper. We've certainly gone someway towards solving our Fletcher / Michael replacement concerns by getting two backmen with good skills and decision making.
Would have liked a ruck prospect as well - maybe Tom Bellchambers in the PSD?

While we did need a ruckman and some more genuine midfielders i am glad that the club has started thinking about the replacements for Fletch and Michael.
Tayte Pears is a cutie as well!!!!!
